Flight Score
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 94 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 94 ft, 49 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 310 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,679 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,679 m of the 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 594 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The pre-flight preparations began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles (nm). The aircraft then departed from runway 16L at Jorge Chavez International Airport (SPJC) in Lima, Peru.
During takeoff, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 178 knots (kt) and covered a distance of 1,679 meters, which was 58% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29°C, a wind speed of 4 kt from 180°, with a crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind of 4 kt.
After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead Carmen De La Legua Reynoso (Callao, Peru). The climb phase involved a significant increase in altitude, from 1,142 feet above sea level (asl) to 30,949 ft asl, over a distance of 142 nm, in 21 minutes. This was followed by a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles northwest of Yanahuanca (Pasco, Peru) and lasted for 130 minutes, covering a distance of 1,102 nm.
The flight then entered another climb phase, which started 8 miles east of Zapatoca (Departamento de Santander, Colombia), and involved a climb from 31,007 ft asl to 31,941 ft asl, over a distance of 14 nm, in 2 minutes. This was followed by another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of Floridablanca (Departamento de Santander, Colombia) and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 169 nm.
The flight continued with multiple climb and level cruise phases, each with varying altitudes, distances, and durations. These phases took the aircraft over various locations, including Agustin Codazzi Airport (SK15 and SK19) in Colombia, and eventually over the Atlantic Ocean, heading towards Europe.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, which started 1 mile northeast of Courseulles-sur-Mer (Normandie, France). The descent involved a significant decrease in altitude, from 36,861 ft asl to 12,497 ft asl, over a distance of 83 nm, in 11 minutes. This was followed by a level cruise phase, which started overhead Bezu-Saint-Eloi (Normandie, France) and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nm.
The final approach to runway 27R at Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG) was made from the east, with a heading of 265.0° at 4 nm and 1,337 ft above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 178 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 147 kt, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,598 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nm.
The total flight distance was 5,907 nm, and the flight duration was 689 minutes. The aircraft used a significant amount of fuel, with a total of 93,831 kg consumed during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport on runway 27R, achieving a score of 91.7%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,337 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was characterized by a threshold height that was above the target, indicating a slightly higher than desired altitude at the point of touchdown. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 148 knots, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown point was located 178 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight overcorrection or a slightly fast approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 147 knots, which was a little faster than the desired speed. This may have contributed to the slightly beyond-target touchdown point. The touchdown rate of -289 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting a moderate rate of descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the point of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was also 1 knot. These conditions were favorable for the landing, with minimal wind shear or turbulence.
The total landing distance was 1,598 meters, which accounted for 59% of the available runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and managed throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's deceleration after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 91.7% reflecting the aircraft's good performance and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
